This is a suggestion for simplifying the "Job Status" dispaly in the web 
interface.  Or rather, for *clarifying* it.

The current job status display shows the various tasks that are happening in he 
background.  This is interesting, but it does not answer the one question I 
really want answered: "Are you done yet?", that is, are all of the scheduled 
tasks finished?

The reason is that the displayed tasks are really sub-tasks of the tasks that 
are initiated by the user's actions, and that the sub-tasks are executed 
sequentially and only displayed when they have been initiated, that is, after 
the previous sub-task has finished.

I can see two ways to clarify the situation.

One way is to display all of the queued-up subtasks, along with the ones that 
are executing and the ones that are finished.  Then one could tell when the 
tasks are done, all of the tasks would be finished.  In this case, it would be 
helpful to have a "Clear Finished Tasks" to remove the visual clutter of the 
many finished tasks.

Another way would be to display the status of the user-initiated tasks, as well 
as the subtasks now displayed.  Thus, if one clicks "Send profiles to all 
phones", there would be a "Send profiles to all phones" master-task displayed, 
starting immediately after the click, and transitioning to finished state when 
the last profile was sent and the last phone was restarted.
